Cygwin doesn't have an independent set of file permissions, the acls of windows are just translated to cygwin, use getfacl to view them. If you can't do it in windows, cygwin won't help.

I suggest getting the permissions right in windows before using cygwin. To view the permissions set on a file use cacls or xcacls (from windows support tools). The hidden readonly and system flags overrule acl entrys (set with attrib). On a mounted share the rescriction on the share overrule acl entrys.

If you can't delete a file as administrator and think you should, please post the output from cacls on this file.
